Hello and welcome to the forum....

Root is where you get access to all file system on the phone and you can use apps that needs that like setcpu there you can control the cpu

Debranding is when you buy a phone from o2 there is apps from the provider on the phone and with debranding you will get a genetic firmware on the phone from sony ericsson without all the provider software

Oh so root is just to get to the core of the phone? Or is it something like iphone jailbreak?

For debranding why would people dont want the provider software? It cant be deleted?

yes root is like iphone jailbreak.....

People debrand there phones, becuase many provider software is slow and the software update from provider takes long time....

the provider software can't be deleted

How do you know which is the provider software?

here in denmark we have hi3g as a provider and on a mini from them there is a planet3 app and mobiletv and then we turn on the phone it shows a boot screen with 3 and thats is branding

Oh so if there isn't anything that shows at the start then its not been branded?
